Re: Suspicious update !

Uhm, don't know. The popup came when I click in ZA on "check for updates". So, I guess from ZoneLabs. I recognize that my version is stil 9.2.102.000.
I also noticed a few days ago, that my program rules has been partially cleared and that ZA asks again for accesses and that some options have been reset. Maybe a silent update wasn't performed properly ?
So is this message in the box trustworthy. It just sounds a bit fishy. Thes UGE LETTERS saying it's FREE and DOWNLOAD NOW !

No, it gives just the ominous phrase: "FREE UPDATE : NEW ZoneAlarm FREE Firewall 97 % fewer alerts. Stronger protection. Winner: PC Mag editor's choice.Click OK to DOWNLOAD THE FREE UPDATE NOW"
No mentioning of any version number.
BTW: Since I restarted my PC twice (yesterday and today), I got the new network found message now the 2nd time. Little strange. Maybe I should make a clean install of the new version. I don't really want to, but I think it's more secure.
Any advice ?

EDIT: It seems, that my ZA version is up-to-date, referring to ZA help section:
